Cheerios Sending Cheer Postcards To the Troops Give Away #MyBlogSpark

I’m so grateful for living in a country were our U.S States Troops protect and serve our country to keep us safe. My great grandfather served in the war. My Grandfather served in World War I.,and my grandmothers 2nd husband also served in the war. My Uncle, my mothers brother served in the Navy. My brother was a United states Marine and my Ex-husband also served in the Army. While my husband was stationed over sea’s I wrote him about 3-4x a week. He said that some of the guys didn’t even get mail and during the holidays was the worst. Some would get really great big packages from their family and others would get nothing but were grateful that friends shared. I think it’s a honor to live in a country where these men and women dedicated their lives and take time away from their family’s. As a wife of a military man I gave up so much so that he could protect our country and was alone here raising my 1 year son and struggling with the hardships of parenting and keeping a home alone. It’s time we join together to send a little Cheer to the family’s of men and women keeping our country safe and let them know we appreciate their sacrifices as well by sending a little Cheer and a Thank you their way to let them know how grateful we truly are.

When our troops are called to serve, their families must rise to meet the challenges of service as well. To thank the Troops, Cheerios and the USO have partnered in a postcard campaign that spreads Cheer directly to these honorable military families and supports USO programs.

During the months of October and November, 2011, specially-marked boxes of Cheerios cereal will feature Cheer postcards on the front of the box. Consumers can simply cut out the postcard from the Cheerios logo, write a message of thanks on the back, add a stamp and mail the pre-addressed card to the USO. The USO will deliver the Cheer card to military families across the country.

For each postcard received through November 2012, Cheerios will make a $1 donation to the USO to help fund programs that support military families.

kick off the campaign, Cheerios has already donated $150,000 to the USO and will donate up to an additional $100,000 based upon the number of postcards received from specially marked boxes now through November 30th, 2012.

We need to get as many post cards in the mail as we possibly can. If everyone reading this would run and purchase a 1 box today, cut the post card out and mail it in before the end of the week you would put a smile on the family’s faces that give so much. I’ve already cut out my card and mailed my card. I wrote a special note of “Thank you” added a stamp. It’s such a small effort to make to kind gesture to someone who gives up so much.

Sending a “Cheer” postcard is a simple way to say thanks and lift the spirits of our country’s military families. So, take a moment out of your day to spread some Cheer and send a message of Thanks!
